62. We'll See
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterShen's martial arts improved scaringly fast after connecting to the Concept of Zephyr.However, he wasn't a recently healed mortal any longer. He was now a cultivator with battle experience. At some point, his advancement slowed down considerably.Part of the reason was how easy it was to kill the regulars. There were a lot of them, granted, but they were weak. He could deal with anything they threw against him thanks to his infinite qi, innate soul defense, superior stats, and better...
61. Tyranny It Is
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterBreezes were already soft, but the one that started blowing around Shen as he connected to the Concept of Zephyr reached the extreme of gentleness. It barely touched skin, yet there was no denying it was pleasant. It enveloped and caressed him and enemies alike.It improved his movements just slightly, which was enough for him to reach new heights of power.Shen's feet barely touched the ground. He was lighter, yet he hadn't thought of using that. He had been limiting his body too. Ho...
60. Concepts
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterDodging the incoming attacks was ridiculously easy.They couldn't hold a candle to what Shen had gone through in the second stage. There, he had had F+ stats and avoided projectiles from beings with E- stats, including magic. Here, he had E- stats and dealt with F+ at most.Many arrows and bolts were shot his way. The system gave the marksmen an infinite supply of them, but they were common wood with ordinary metal arrowheads. The enchantments were in the bows or ballistae to make the dra...
Small change to chapter 59. Hell
This post is not relevant if you read chapter 59 after 01/18.I added a paragraph and changed another in chapter 59. See the excerpt below.I would usually not make an entire post about such a small change. Doubly so because we'll see it happen in practice. However, it gives a better perspective on the challenges of this "middle boss," sets expectations, and showcases Shen's strategic mind. Those factors make this post needed.The first paragraph of this excerpt is here for context. The second is the one I added. The third is the o...
59. Hell
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterHalfway through the third stage, Shen had only a little over two hundred twenty thousand AP. Things had gone well enough in the beginning, but the gains started slowing down after the obvious issue popped in: his opponents weren't endless sources of AP.The number of people in the Arena, which had reached almost a hundred thousand in the middle of the second day, quickly decreased later. People tested themselves, found their adversaries too strong, then left. There were also new things t...
58. Learning Ability
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterCombat Qi filled Shen's body and spear while War Qi filled his mind. He rushed at his armored enemy.Both Combat and War let him know his spear wouldn't be enough to cut through his foe's black armor—F-tier equipment, he guessed. His qi made his spear proportionally stronger, but the weapon's base power was too small at the G tier.Both Combat and War also told him to find a weak spot in his enemy's defenses and capitalize on it. Combat was perfect for that. Know yoursel...

57. 61,000
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next Chapter| Purchased: Any Weapon (G) | -10 AP| Remaining AP: 59,324Shen was surprised to get teleported to the topmost row of the spectators' seats. From there, he could see the Arena had expanded even more. At least a hundred thousand people were fighting, and tens of thousands watched. It made him wonder how big was the tutorial. How many had joined it, and how many remained?He followed the line of people climbing down to the battle area. A few people were waiting at the edge, talking to newco...
56. Crossroads
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterThe system was still sending new notifications.| Max Health Points | 100 → 200| Health Regen | 12.1 → 24/h| Max Stamina Points | 100 → 200| Stamina Regen | 6.6 → 12/minShen's existence had reached a new level, affecting his entire being. He now knew the system had not only deferred his stats but also the gains from surviving his tribulation and reaching the Fate Origin realm."Better later than never," Alicia had once said, and he agreed.He also agreed with the warning le...
55. Pure and Simple
Previous Chapter — Table of Contents — Next ChapterAlicia and Shen had underestimated how much people wanted to fight for AP. Or how many people there were in the tutorial.Tens of thousands were already in the AP Arena, and the number was increasing by the minute. The spectators' seat had gotten further away from the center, where Shen stood alone.He had been battling non-stop except for the one-minute break after duels, when no one could challenge him. He had won over ten thousand AP from others already, and it seemed to have become a ...
